Can I light a candle for my little one today

If I make a wish on a star

Will I be carried far away

Is she sleeping in her bed

Or is she calling my name

My life and her life will never be the same

Can I talk to an angel with wings of pure gold

Will they tell me how my little one is

For I have never been told

I cry so many tears

I cannot count them all

My little one is so tiny, so very very small

Can I blow her a kiss on a gentle breeze

Can I send my love to her on such days as these

Can I light a candle in my hour of need

I want my child, Dear God, give her back to me
